The design is award winning and clinically proven. Yurbuds were selected as the Official Earbud of the 2010 National City Marathon in Washington, DC because they allow you to hear your surroundings while you listen to your music! Pre-orders of the Ironman Series Yurbuds will be accepted beginning on August 5th, one month before they are available in Best Buy stores. Yurbuds CEO and co-founder Seth Burgett developed the yurbuds concept while training in October 2007 for his first IM 70.3 later that year. Literally the “ah-ha” occurred while Seth was running on a gravel trail at the end of a long workout one Saturday. Thinking “Why should my ears hurt more than my body after a 6 hour workout?”
A typical workout on Saturdays was 4 hours on the bike trail followed by a 2 hour run. Week after week, Seth could not believe people coped with this problem until finally the idea for Yurbuds earphones was born.
Seth co-founded Yurbuds with Richard Daniels, a 20-time marathoner. The duo used themselves as the product testers “It was perfect, Rich was training for the Boston Marathon and I had been ramping up my training in preparation for my first full Ironman event. We simply used the prototypes during our long training runs and made modifications until we developed the perfect solution!”.The Yurbuds Ironman Series - Performance Raising Earphones are truly built for the endurance athlete, made with heavy-duty wires, sweat resistant silicone and are fully guaranteed not to fall out. The patented Ear-Lock technology ensures that the earphones will not fall out, even during long sweaty runs, allowing endurance athletes to concentrate on their training. Yurbuds were designed in conjunction with top audiologists and award-winning ergonomists that previously developed the Microsoft mouse, Gatorade EDGE bottle and the Oral-B toothbrush. Yurbuds are clinically proven to provide a deeper, richer sound quality, yet still allow the runner to hear his surroundings. Yurbuds Ironman Series Earphones will be available at Best Buy in September 2010 and available at www.yurbuds.com in limited quantities for a pre-order special beginning August 5th. Yurbuds retail for $49.99 and are absolutely guaranteed not to fall out, remain comfortable for long training runs and to provide deeper richer sound quality.
